Do you get an address when you boot from disk 1 or the boot.iso?

Thanks for the reply Chip but it didn’t work.  I received the same error.

Will this server get a dhcp address if you boot from the boot.iso (or disk 1 with askmethod) and select http, ftp or nfs as your install path?

 

If so, you are probably running into a switch timing issue that I have to deal with every day.  Try adding an ethtool option to the end of your command line:

 

if 100MB Full Duplex:

ksdevice=eth0 eth0_ethtool="autoneg=off speed=100 duplex=full"

 

If 1000MB Full:

ksdevice=eth0 eth0_ethtool="autoneg=on speed=1000 duplex=full"

I have been trying to get kickstart working but have had no success.

 

 

Here are the last few lines of the kickstart process before it dies:

 

*getting kickstart file

*sending dhcp request through device eth0

*waiting for link

* 5 seconds

* running dhcp for eth0

* pump told us:  No DHCP reply received

* eth0 isn’t a wireless adaptor

 

I have checked every possible configuration with regards to dhcp, pxe, tftp, but cannot find anything wrong.

 

Has anyone else seen this type of behavior?

 

Thanks in advance.
